of Minnesota Duluth (UMD), has been selected as an Outstanding Advising
Certificate of Merit recipient in the Faculty Academic Advising category
as part of the 2004 National Academic Advising Association's National Awards
Program.

This award is presented to individuals who have demonstrated qualities

making significant contributions to the improvement of academic advising.
The goal of NACADA is to promote quality academic advising and professional
development of its membership to enhance the educational development
of students.
